it might be love
why do people seem to be so obsessed with love? embarking on that quest for the one who's supposed to make your life "perfect"? i've observed relationships of people who were supposedly inlove. i've seen the relationship suck out the happiness from both sides until they were merely hollow, soulless corpses parading around as human beings... fine, so maybe i'm going a tad over the line but you get my point. they both enter the relationship without knowing what they're getting themselves into. they not only hurt each other, they hurt themselves in the process as well. on the other hand though, if you manage to play your cards right, they say its the best feeling in the world. you just have to be mature enough to know when it's time to stop trying and let go before you become a helpless heap of broken heart pieces on the floor.
some people forget though there're other kinds of love besides the one with your better half; those that are just as strong, or perhaps even stronger. Watching My Sister's Keeper proved that to me (yes, this post is somewhat a result of me watching such a profoundly heart-rending movie). they all loved each other so much, they just dealt with their love differently. i cried, and cried... and cried some more. gosh, i do not know why i couldn't stop crying. thank god i watched the movie alone. the movie tapped into the relationship among siblings and it made me appreciate the relationship i have with my own siblings. so what if i haven't fallen "in" love cuz there is love in my life and that's all that matters. even though my sisters constantly call me "monkey"or "smeagle" (their personal favorite) and that babies cry because i'm ugly (no, they just cry because of my braces. really) and that they can't see me at night because i'm dark (i swear you can see me in the dark. as long as im smiling) i know they love me. that's love people. yes, love is a great thing.
My Sister's Keeper is a great movie.

Power to the Women!
i'm not really going to talk about the arguments of feminism even though i advocate gender equality, i just find the title appropriate to the blog lay out dontcha think? haha, oh we women rock. ;)
so i was looking for a different kind of layout and i found this! i found it funny. :) sooo a new blog, a new semester and hopefully a new attitude! In all honesty, I've surprisingly been keeping my promise to myself not to procrastinate and to be more productive! except for now, but today's friday and i'm allowed a little rest right?
well, i'm going to try and keep this post short cause I have to sleep before 12am (i've been sleeping before 12am since school started. i've totally forgotten how good it feels to get a good solid 7-8 hours of sleep every night) well, i'ma run down my sched for this semester! i have a feeling i might die of stress because of the 29 units i'm currently taking up but heck, i can do this! (yes, the glass is always half-full)
MWF
Urbanizationa and Dev't
Maam Kim Taguibao
8:45 - 9:45
A major first thing in the morning! First off, the teacher is extremely nice. I don't think I have the heart to criticize her because she's a fairly new teacher (graduated just last March) and she's obviously still shy around us but she's always so happy, it's hard not to like her. The only problem I have with this subject is that the lessons she's teaching us are EXACTLY (no joke) the same as the lessons Paulo and I had in Economic Dev't, one of our electives for our minor in econ. She's using the same book and everything. I know, I'll have more chances of getting a better grade since I went through everything already but i mean, i dont want to go through the exact same thing all over again. :|:| oh well, we'll see how it goes.
International Economics
Sir Arnold Abejaron
whoo for economics! He's talkative and super smart. i enjoy this class. period.
International Politics
Sir Neil Ryan Pancho
Hmm, i can't exactly say how the lessons are so far since we've barely started but I know the teacher.. back to getting hand cramps for all the essays we're going to be writing for the exams :( a laid-back teacher who likes to attack when you least expect it so even though he might smile at us i keep my eyes wide and my ears open cuz those kinds of teachers should not be trusted. ever.
Theology 121
Sir Lunar Fayloga
it's sir lunar fayloga! that alone should tell you that the classes are entertaining and fun, sprinkled with a pinch of green humour but i'm surrounded by a few green-humored classmates so that isn't exactly new on my part. i'm stuck with accoutancy, but even though they're a bit on the quiet side it's an interesting class.
TTH
Philosophy104
Atty. Ira Calatrava-Valenzuela
7:40-9:10
i don't know how i'm going to be able to survive a 7:40 class but i'll manage. Atty. Calatrava is a breath of fresh air compared to my philo teacher from last sem. In our first meeting, she was talking about how she gave birth to twins! i mean, how awesome is that? twins! my philo teacher last year would just drone on and on like an annoying mosquito and if you didn't recite from the book word-for-word, you'd get an immediate deduction. i'm thinking of minoring in philosophy as well.. it's so interesting! hmm.. think think think..
Basic Research Methods
Maam Mae Fernandez
we haven't really started so i can't exactly say anything.. the higher years though said she's also really friendly so i'm looking forward to that..
Seminar on South Asia
Sir Harvey Gamas
one of my favorite teachers! like maam kim, he graduated last march but unlike maam kim he's not quiet and loves to joke around. it's hard to perceive him as a teacher now since before we'd always be in the same team in quiz bowls and stuff so when he teaches it's like having an older, much smarter student tutoring us.
JAPANESE
Sensei Morales
yes, it deserves all caps cuz its so a;lkfdja;lkdsjf;ahgldjf; hard. but yes, i can do this. the teacher is understanding and everything, but we can't keep testing his patience. i'm helpless in japanese but i shall succeed! oh dear, good luck to me this sem.
Calculus with Analytical Geometry
Atty. Chamen
6pm to 9pm
Lord, i am absolutely petrified of this subject! one, because i never thought i'd have to take another math subject after math111 (college algebra) and two, it's frikkin 5 units! (yes ming, yeo and vina, you guys have already experienced this :)) ) so if i get a low grade then good bye dean's lister and hello not.. dean's lister. and just the words "CALCULUS WITH ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY" scare the crap out of me. Atty. Chamen was really nice (she even let me eat my dinner before she started lecturing) but i donno how her teaching is like yet.. ack
so that's it! my subjects for 2nd semester! woohoo! what fun. good luck to all of us.
and power to the women! baha xD
